Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1030 - 859: Deal with the Demon Realm (Part 3)

Therefore, when the Cloud Concealment Sect, one of the Ancient Ten Great Sects, joined forces with the Otherworldly Cultivators to develop the use of the Demon Core, catalyzing all Demon Cultivators to slay Demon Beasts for profit, the Demon Realm Alliance secretly contributed significantly to push things along.

Even so, it could not reverse the course of fate, allowing the Wilderness World enough time to heal and recover on its own; these measures only delayed the collapse.

Within the alliance, there were many talented demons who foresaw the fall of the Wilderness before it happened, but how can one stop the trends of heaven and earth? Since it was impossible to prevent the collapse of heaven and earth, it was better to prepare early and save as many beings as possible from this place."

"So, you just sold the Wilderness World? What benefits did the Demon King give to the alliance?"

Facing this inquiry, Du Li did not answer completely and just replied helplessly, "The Demon King promised well. Though the Demon Realm Alliance could not take all Demon Cultivators away using the Demon Realm’s power, at least it could issue early warnings, build enough Teleportation Arrays, and maintain order to ensure a safe retreat.

At that time, the Demon Realm would obtain a tottering world, useless to the Demon Cultivators, to store Demonic Energy.

And the unique nature of Demonic Energy would kill all remaining living beings in the world, causing everything to come to a halt, thus maintaining a delicate balance, so that the Wilderness World would not completely collapse.

Should there be any spare capabilities afterward, it might even be possible to redeem the Wilderness World, eliminate the Demonic Energy, and recreate a new world.

It was clearly a beneficial matter, yielding multiple results, but the Demon King went back on his word!

First, we couldn’t contact him for a long time, and when we finally did, all resources that were originally promised to us were cut off, and we were told to vacate the Wilderness World first, an utterly rude demand! Without enough resources, how are we supposed to accommodate billions of beings?"

A flash of insight suddenly struck Jiang Yuan’s mind, and he pressed further, "Alliance Leader Du, when did that happen?"

"Discussions with the Demon King formally started over a thousand years ago," the other party pondered, "The Demon King is cunning, the Demon Realm is vast, and the Lords are hard to deal with, all contributing factors that delayed reaching a consensus.

Moreover, in any trade, everyone wants to give less and get more.

We were on the weaker side, and time was urgent, so we couldn’t afford delays. Yet, the Demon King kept stalling, waiting until we couldn’t hold on any longer to gain the most at the least cost. In this way, he would neither accrue the sin of invading the external world nor miss a bargain.

The original plan was to complete the transaction before the fall of the Wilderness, to have all plans succeed by then. At that time, everyone believed that the fall would inevitably lead to a cataclysm, so there was great urgency.

At the critical juncture when all preparations were in place—about four hundred or maybe three hundred plus years ago, anyway before the fall of the Wilderness—the Demon King suddenly quit. Who wouldn’t be angry and infuriated?

But later, one sudden night, the Wilderness fell into fusion with the Human World without any warning, yet it did not collapse and continued to operate. The alliance, while still worried, was not as desperate, feeling there was enough time to negotiate with the Demon King.

When contact was made again, the Demon King completely overturned the previous cooperation agreement. Looking at the current Demon Realm invasion plan, it’s apparent that he is willing to bear grave sins to seize it forcibly."

He perfectly omitted the collective Ascension plan and the secret of dividing up between the parties, clearly explaining the grievances with the Demon King.

Jiang Yuan understood upon hearing the timeline—that when they sold the Wilderness World, they were negotiating with the real Demon King; the period when contact was lost was likely when Yun Li usurped and replaced him, and later negotiations were with Yun Li, the fake Demon King!
